Peace and Grace

[Chuck®]

Why did Paul so often link peace with grace?
1 Corinthians 1:3;
2 Corinthians 1:2;
Ephesians 1:2;
Philippians 1:2;
Colossians 1:2;
1 Thessalonians 1:1;
2 Thessalonians 1:2;
Philemon 3

Because man will never know peace
until he understands grace. What is grace?
Grace is unmerited, undeserved, unearned favor.
The old acrostic still says it best:
God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense,
not because of anything you do or have done,
but because of who Christ is and what He’s done.
You don’t need to go through rituals.
You don’t need to live under regulations.
You can have peace today if you understand grace
because the grace of God brings peace in a profound way.

So true brother...and I cannot hear enough of grace these days...I recently had a fresh renewal of understaning and a heavy cloud of guilt and shame just lifted off me...man it felt so good. And it freed me up so much to love people...amazing grace...
